She accompanied Ethan to business gatherings.

At a family gathering, I stood aside and watched Ethan and Linda holding hands and being affectionate.

It was always she and Ethan to appear in public.

I could only complain to my mom at home.

Others all knew that I was Ethan's girlfriend, but I was never the one by his side.

While Ethan and I were in a daze, Linda sobbed with tearful eyes, "It hurts."

"No matter what, it's wrong for you to hit Linda."

"I will ask Linda apologize to your mom, but you have to apologize to Linda."

When Ethan saw Linda, his tone was unquestionable.

"What if I don't?"

"Julissa, don't go too far."

"I won't possibly apologize."

As soon as I finished my words, Linda, who was crying and sitting on the ground, suddenly stood up and slapped me.

I lost my footing and felt like someone kicked me.

When I fell to the ground, I subconsciously protected the frame in my arms.

Then, I got hit a few more times until Linda ran out of strength.

"How dare you hit me? Few people dare hit me."

I felt pain in my body. When I saw the high heels Linda was wearing, I knew that I must have several bruises.

"Don't pretend to be hurt. Linda is weak. It doesn't hurt when she hits you."
